My partner Heather and I built a mud-brick house in the 1970’s (we had no money to buy ), this is the garden ( sorry about colour, scans from old photos). We lived in the tiny cottage (built in 2 weekends) for a year with no water or electricity.
….we then renovated 1850s house in Geelong
…moved to Queenscliff and did it all again
then back to Geelong, and again…
and finally to the big smoke where we bought this number
which is now
If you are like me and had assumed all that hard effort was best left in the past and forgotten, you should watch this video;
With thanks to Ian Lunt, Lisa Smallbone and Alison Matthews of Charles Sturt University who have made my day!
